Looks as Though Enemies of Great
Issue Seek to Kill it by Inanition3 Up to Hammond to Make Move
What has become of the amalgamation movement? As the matter now stands the city of Hammond is in a delicate position. It has violated all of the rules of intercity diplomacy and unless something is done the city of Hammond will be "in bad" with its neighbors. . After the question of amalgamation of Hammond and East Chicago had been temporarily dropped the Commercial Club of Indiana Harbor came forward and suggested that the commercial clubs of the cities of North Township get together and decide on
some means of preparing the way for
amalgamation. This proposition was made when Becker stated that he was not opposed
to amalgamation but was opposed to

the sort of benevolent assimilation that

TOOK BECKER'S WORD.
The Indiana HarUor people took Mayor Becker at lls word and sought,
by means of conferences between rep
resentatives of the commercial clubs of
the region, to come to some under
standing, and form a basis upon which amalgamation could become a fact. The Commercial Club of Indiana Harbor Invited) representatives from the Hammond Business Men's Association and the other commercial clubs of the region to participate In Its deliberations. Jacob Schloer and Mayor Lawrence Becker opposd Hammond's participating In the first conference. But they were overruled by the assocaltlon and a committee consisting of J. G. Ibach William J. Whinnery. J. D. Brussels- and a number of others was appointed to attend the Indiana Harbor meeting. Indiana Harbor received Hammond

v (Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 27. Unless Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker
comes to Lake county very soon he will have cause to worry, because John
B. Peterson, the Crown Point statesman and his democratic rival for congress, has taken time by the forelock. Yesterday Judge Peterson wad the busiest man at the county fair. When he was not handing out stogies 10 his old time farmer friends and acquaintances and praising their cattle and hogs, he was complimenting) the ladles and kissing Ihelr babies, and was busier than the cashier at the oriental show. Judre There With Glad Hand. While The Times representative made no special effort to keep in tha tracks of the aspirant for congressional honors, yet he spied Judge Peterson a dozen times during the day, discussing the advisability of raising alfalfa Instead of shorthoin cattle with one bunch of. farmers and discussing the
tariff Question with another. On the
latter question the Judge is a little un
settled and while discussing the topic ' before, the farmers' wives in the Floral hall where the fancy work articles are
on exhibition, he became confused in
talking with them as to whether the
waist line on the fall dresses should
be lowered or raised, and several times he Is said to have gotten in bad. He told them that buttons, in all cases
should be lowered while the patent leather belts might be raised to suit
the occasion. He refused to discuss
hobble skirts. To Attend Porter County Fair.
Judge Peterson threatens to attend the Porter county fair at Valparaiso next week. Congressman Crumpacker's own home town, and if the latter does not get exceedingly busy and familiarize himself on the art of winning the
favor of Porter county farmers and
their wives, he may have to work over- ' time in order to become the next speaker in the 'house of representatives at
Washington.
Judge Virgil S. Better, who has devised about all of the new wrinkles .tlyit-hls lngetiuitycould devise tg .facile .5 itate the transaction of the business of the Lake superior court, today., announced Jhat he would employ a minute clerk on Mondays to save him the time writing down the minute. - In view of the fact that over 200 new cases have been filed in court during vacation time and that the criminal business this year is expected to exceed that of last year. Judge Belter is lookipg forward to a busy season. Reiter holds the record for business transacted by a single Judge in the state of Indiana, and It Is expected that he will break his own record this year, unless he is unlucky enough to run
! across a lnrsrf number of trial cases
which require several weeks.
It is expected that long before the
new term is over the court will again be quartered in its own home in
the Lake superior court house. The new place, however, will not facilitate
the transaction of business to any
great extent.
The only advantage is that there is
an additional court room, where special
judges may sit and try cases and which
will be used if the next legislature provides the local court with another
judge.

MUSICAL JA6S Two men who apparently differ with Carrie Nation were arrested last evening by Officer Pophlatz and fined $11 for drunkenness this morning in the city court. A unique coincident surrounds the arrests. About midnight the policeman heard a voice raised in song. He had no trouble locating the singer, who was seated upon the platform of the Monon depot. The happy drunk was Mike Welsh of this city and had no objections to accompanying the officer to
the station. As the-policeman was. returning he heard another solo coming from nearly the same location. This was Mike Holland, who chjeerfully assented to spend the night in captivity. The two Mikes were arraigned before Judge Barnett and given $11 judgment. T-he police are today inquiring as tt what particular brand of Joy water has a musical effect. I

t V Perseverance of Secretary Johnston Promises to Bring Results. Secretary E. F. Johnston of the Hammond Business Men's association said today that he had received a letter from the postoffice department, in which it was stated that the question of providing Hammond with improved inter-city v mail service had not been dropped. He said that from what he could
gather the postoffice department at
Washington had made simply a super
ficial examination of the case which the
cities of the Calumet region had made
out and by referring to the files had discovered that this matter had come up before and an adverse report had
been made. "
When as ajresult of Johnston's persistance the matter was again called to its attention, it is believed that the
department naa determined to make a

A bicycle belonging to the Spafford Read Estate company was left standing in front of the company's offflce, on Elm street street, this morning. It also disappeared without the consent of the owners. Bicycle stealing seems to be a fad in Hammond and the police are endeavoring to change the style.

Indianapolis, Ind., ug. 27. The demo

Robert J. Aley a scandidate for super
intendent of public instruction. Great-
house is a red hot Taggart man and has always been lined up with that
faction of the party. And it was the Taggart element that put him on the ticket. Aley sent to State Chairman Jackson yesterday a letter in which he resigned as the democratic nominee for superinteiidency of public instruction, to succeed himself, in order that he might accept the presidency of the University of Maine, which was tend
ered him last Saturday at Portland, Me., by the board of trustees of that institution. He said in his letter that the place offered him was too good to be turned down and since he had always been engaged In educational work, and that this work appealed to him more than politics, he felt that he ought to accept it. TiKKor tirtn Buny. When it became known several days ago that there "was a likelihood that
he would resign from the ticket the Taggart bunch got busy. It has been well known that Aley was not a Taggart man and also that he was a popular candidate. In fact ,Aley was the strongest man by far as a candidate that there was on the democratic ticket, because he was well known all over the state in educational circles and had the additional prestige of a wide acquaintance because of his connection with Indiana university for years. Aley got a place on the state ticket two years ago in spite of the Taggart crowd and was elected. The Taggart candidates two years ago were defeated and the anti-Taggart candidates on the ticket were elected. This year Aley was renominated without opposition, because the Taggart crowd knew it (Coivlnued ou live,
